Within 24 hours Friday and Saturday, one Charleston-area Chick-fil-A will shut down to be demolished and rebuilt while a refurbished restaurant will celebrate its reopening.

The Chick-fil-A at 2013 Magwood Drive in West Ashley will stop serving customers at 3 p.m. Friday, according to administrator Cheri Calhoun.

Staff will begin clearing out the restaurant on Saturday and Sunday ahead of demolition, slated to begin next week, she said. It's expected to reopen at the end of the year and be twice the size of the existing restaurant.

Nearby restaurants can be found in Citadel Mall and on Savannah Highway.

On the way

A new CBD shop will celebrate its opening in downtown Charleston, and another is on the way to Mount Pleasant by the same Asheville-based vendor.

Franny's Farmacy will host its grand opening at 4 p.m. Thursday at 473 King St. in a former T-Mobile site, according to Brandon Bobart, operations specialists for franchise operations. The store launched a soft opening last weekend.

The two Lowcountry stores will bring to five the number of outlets for Franny's. Others are in Greenville, Asheville and Hendersonville, N.C.

CBD, or cannabidiol, comes from the hemp plant and is legal because it produces only trace amounts of the psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, found in marijuana. It cannot get a person high and has been touted as a magical elixir to treat a variety of ailments. The FDA is still pondering policy for the new product that has swept the nation.

Charleston-born Shine Water is moving into more Fresh Market locations across the eastern U.S. Provided

Fresh shine

A Charleston-born product is expanding into more grocery stores.

Physician Made Beverages has formed a partnership with The Fresh Market and distributor United Natural Foods to take Shine Water from 75 to 230 retail locations starting Monday. The new sites extend from Florida to Connecticut and as far west as Oklahoma City.

The beverage is touted as "a healthy alternative to sports drinks full of sugar, sodium and artificial flavors," according to chief development officer Angel French.

The 20-calorie drink is infused with vitamin D, electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and zinc, and antioxidants. It has no sugar and comes in three flavors: strawberry lemon, poma-grape and kiwi cucumber. A new peach mango flavor is on the way.

A partnership with an unnamed Florida-based grocery chain is in the works and could be announced for a late summer launch.

Fresh Market has nine locations in South Carolina, but none in Charleston. Its closest store is in the Pawleys Island area.
